Fall 2014 Daedalian Memories… Sue (Jones Babb, Class of 1946, Journalism, Wichita Falls, TX I’m so glad you want to know the past history of the Daedalian. I was a journalism major at (then TSCW) TWU from 1942 until my graduation in 1946 and I was Daedalian editor my senior year of 1946. We were the first full time class to graduate after World War II – the first freshman class to begin during wartime. It was a time like no other at then Texas State College for Women. Ir was four years of a most wonderful experience in my life and prepared me well for my career late in the newspaper and public relations fields. The 1946 Daedalian (is) on file in the TWU Alumnae Office, this is where I placed one a number of years ago when I attended a class reunion. The 46’ Daedalian tells the story of wartime at TSCW and focuses on the post war future… it is unique because of the content that records an era like no other and captures history like no other TWU document. I am sad that the era of a university yearbook is gone because history of the university is lost without permanent photos and articles that can be recorded for the future. It’s a book of reference - special reference – for alumni of those years. I have a Daedalian from each of my years at TWU. (TSCW.) I get them out every once in a while just to reminisce - and then I cry a lot – for the fun times - the poignant times and the unbelievable memories I have from 1942-46. Norma (Mosley) Burkhardt, Class of 1943, Journalism, Layton, UT 1943 was an exciting year for each of us who worked on the Daedalian. Kathryn Lowe, Editor, Mary Paxton, Art Director, and I were grateful to all who contributed their work and clever artistic abilities. Dare I mention climbing through a ground-floor window in the former journalism building to work on weekends while we rushed to meet the deadlines? As Business Manager, I remember we wanted to have a hard-back yearbook, but our war-time finances did not quite reach this point. We cherished personal letters from L.H. Hubbard, College President, which we attached to the fly leaf of our books. He said: “I congratulate you on the unusually beautiful and interesting annual which you have produced this year. To have done so under war conditions is indeed an achievement, and all three of you deserve heartiest congratulations.” It was a joy to have helped in this work. Ayleen (Armstrong) Burden, Class of 1949, Business Administration, Garland, TX I was not a part of the Daedalian staff and indeed did not realize it was no more! How could I be so dense, more to the point, how could interest wane! It was the year book, our Annual! I have my four Daedalians, 1946 thru 1949. I certainly kept them and occasionally reminisce through them. P.J. Jones and I got on the Campus Photographers page (Mr. Loveless’ Bulletin Board – bottom right picture) in our dance outfits from Stunts in 1947. Our class won that year with our stunt called “Black Men”. It was tastefully done. Maybe my finest hour, good heavens. I liked the cover of the 1948 annual best. Also it displayed dormitory row beautifully. My friend Margaret Grandberry who held several offices including Senior Class Treasurer refused to attend any more reunions when it was torn down! She was better known as “Mugs”. Mrs. Hubbard died that year and had a lovely tribute in the Daedalian. Their lovely home was in the middle of campus. President Hubbard was a dear, sweet man. At almost every General Assembly he asked us to sing “Moonlight & Roses”. As we sang in harmony, he would say “come out on the tenor, girls!”. Many, many classes will never forget that. I updated my life in the 2012 Pioneer Posting. We are about the same, still in Garland, TX. Numerous grand and great-grand kiddos. We are slowing down a bit and I’m highly offended. How could this happen to the great me! (That’s a joke you guys)

Pioneer Postings… Alberta (Garcia) Giraldo, Class of 1963, History & Government, Casper, WY I can’t believe that 2013 marked the 50th anniversary of our graduation from TWU! How I treasure the 1963 yearbook with the single red rose cover! I remember fondly the wonderful friends I made there from all over our state and the great education we received at TWU. My first

job was at Cummings Jr. High in Brownsville, TX as a Social Studies teacher, but then I bravely took on JFK’s call to serve our country as a U.S. Peace Corps volunteer in Peru (1964-1966), where I met my future husband, Luciano and where I honed my Spanish language skills. We were to spend the rest of our professional lives as teachers in Casper, WY where we both taught Spanish in public and parochial schools and at Casper College. For 20 years (1972-1992) we organized high school travel-study programs to Spain and then in the 1990’s we took college students to Peru, providing young people with memorable experiences in culture and language. Luciano died in 2010, but I have continued to teach past 50 years of service to this community, but this round in adult education as an instructor in English as a Second Language at Casper College’s Adult Education Center. It is a challenging new field for me, but it is with great personal satisfaction that we help our foreign-born residents to succeed with English skills. I am also a registered court interpreter and translator. We had 3 children, Daniel, Nicholas and Cristina, and now I am the proud grandmother to 4 little Giraldos! At age 72, I am so thankful to TWU for opening up the world to me, as my next trip abroad will be to China, my first trip to the Orient! Nadine (Morrow) Pitzinger, Class of 1946, Journalism, Valley View, TX This memory of the Daedalian amuses my offspring, and for years embarrassed me - but, the passing years has made me grin, too. In 1946 it was tradition in Stoddard Hall to have a “yearbook signing” night when the much anticipated book was delivered. In our pajamas, we sat around on the living room floor, wrote our messages, and passed the book along. In a close friend’s book, I busily reviewed our silly adventures we had shared. About half a page later I realized I was writing in the wrong book. I do apologize if some Tessie our there has a message in her Daedalian that makes no sense at all. As a journalism major I did write some features in the 1946 yearbook, edited by Sue Jones. I do have the Daedalians from 1942-43 through 1945-46 – the War years. I have wondered if the university would like to have them. My own children have their own university yearbooks. Maybe you’d like a 1990-91 Aggie yearbook, too. If so, delivery is on me! So good to read “Pioneer” publications. Allie Louise (Bain) Sinderson, Class of 1945, Food & Nutrition/Business & Industry Remembering walking on Redbud lane, the traffic at the letter center, prayer time at the little Chapel – being in TSCW during WWII. I was there to apply myself to study to make my mother proud of me and support our troops with mail. Not to mention being transported to Camp Howze for Service Club dances. This assured a Sunday church and dinner date. Having graduated in 3 years I thought I would rest for a while before I interned to become a hospital Dietitian, food & nutrition major. I was offered a job as Dietitian at Central College, Conway AR. There the Kraft Foods salesman asked me to marry him. Our 47½ years together were blessed with two daughters. My husband and I worked together in our church. I stayed home to care for our children. When their school days became longer I enrolled in graduate work in Lubbock, TX. Later I became a member of the faculty, then worked with the Head of Psychology at a private clinic. In 1972 we answered the call to minister as camp directors in Colorado. After 14 years with the camp my husband’s heart failed and after 7 years in the Enchanted Forest Estates he died. After 3 years I married a wonderful man, a Deacon of his church. We only had 8 years together. Hector left me with rich memories! After 3 years of widowhood I was courted for 3½ years and married my third husband. I’m thankful for 89 years (as of April 12th) for the sweet memories and rewards for finishing college, helping many people professionally and in teaching Bible classes to children and adults. I am now teaching in an assisted living facility. My greatest legacies are my two daughters. Both working in their prospective church homes and bearing five children and four great grandchildren, and one more in the “hanger”! Carol Ann (Comeaux) Estes, Class of 1959, Elementary Education, Pflugerville, TX I graduated from TWU in 1959 with a degree in Elementary Education. I loved my 4 years as a “Tessie” and made several lifelong friends with whom I still stay in touch. After graduation I taught First Grade in Midland for 3 years, Austin for 4 years and New Braunfels for 1 year. I married my husband, John in 1964. We will celebrate our 50 th this August. We lived in Houston for 15 years as John worked for Lockheed in the NASA area. Our children, a boy and a girl were born in Houston. We transferred to the Pflugerville area (near Austin) in 1982 and have been here ever since. John retired from Lockheed in 1994 and we bought a 5th wheel trailer. We traveled to Alaska, all through Canada, the Southern and Western states. Our children are grown and married. We have 4 grandchildren, which we see often. Caroline (Bachofen) Kosovac, Class of 1960, Recreation, Sports & Aquatics, Point Richmond, CA While at TWU I was called Bitsy Bachofen, I'm stilled called Bitsy, but I added Don Kosovac to my life 54 years ago and we are still going strong. We spent 30 years traveling around the country with the US Air Force and raised three daughters along the way.

Don retired as a Colonel and said "Your turn to go to work." I did have somewhat of a resume to work from: swim instructor at Camp Heart of the Hills with Mrs. Kitty McGee, Recreation Therapist at the VA Hospital in Waco, substitute teacher and Airman's Service Club Director at Glasgow AFB, MT, Community Liaison Officer at the American Embassy in Prague, Czech, and secretary at the University of California at Berkeley. All of these jobs I pieced together as an Air Force spouse and mothering our daughters. We retired in the Bay Area and I went back to work at UC Berkeley, retiring after 19 years with University Relations as Assistant to the Vice Chancellor. Now that I'm retired and thankfully in good health, Don and I enjoy our six grandchildren, playing bridge, following the Cal Golden Bears teams, and traveling. I get in some tennis and take lots of walks. We gave up snow skiing a few years ago but still snowshoe. Carole (Lehmberg) Schroth, Class of 1951, English, Llano, TX My first year of teaching was in Donna, TX. Then I taught three years in Kingsville, during which time I earned a Master of Arts at TX A&I. After three years in Premont I taught three in Midland. It was exciting to travel overseas to Aruba, where I was employed by Lago (a division of Standard Oil, later Exxon) to teach in the school for children of employees. There I met my husband, George Schroth. We enjoyed a trip around the world, beginning in Hawaii and ending in Italy. On leaving Aruba we lived wherever jobs with engineering companies took us – Pennsylvania, Delaware, NJ, TX, Florida, and Tennessee (where our daughter was born in 1965). One job took us back to Aruba. While there I influenced three girls to attend TWU. They did very well and were a credit to their island! And to TWU! After my husband’s assignment and retirement in Florida I taught in high school four years and as an adjunct several semesters in Community College. Our daughter, Terry, graduated with honors from Sam Houston University. It was most pleasant for me to have several mini-reunions with former classmates from our days in Turrentine Hall. My husband and I continued to travel. It was especially interesting to view sites in Japan, where he had photographed the devastation after WWII. My husband passed away in 2006. Since then my favorite trip was to Israel, Egypt, and Jordon. Although I continue to enjoy visits to family and friends in TX – and cherish TSCW memories, I really like where I live in Florida – Lakeland. Myrth (Willey) Rollins, Class of 1936, El Paso, TX I attended TSCW in 1935-36. Tuition was $25 per semester. My room cost $10 per month. That is hard to believe now when it is now thousands. I worked in the Dining Room as Serving Girl and I learned formal service. The only name I remember is Mattie Lloyd Wooten, Dean of Women. I will be 97 on June 9, 2014. I graduated Texas Western with high honors. I was married for many years. I taught 25 years in high school and earned a Master’s Degree from UTEP. Josephine (Maxwell) Eagen, Class of 1961, Art Education, Pearland, TX It’s an honor to be called a pioneer. In the spring of 1957 a TWU representative came to my high school and had an all-girl assembly. She took two of us back to Denton one weekend and I fell in love with the campus. In September most all of the girls arrived with family members to move into Milam Hall. I arrived by train and the trunk my parents sent arrived two weeks later. Many girls were gone by October due to home sickness. Milam was a co-op dorm where we did our own cooking and housekeeping. My goal was to teach art. And that I did! I taught secondary art for 33 years and ten more years as part-time instructor at San Jacinto College in Houston. My husband and I have traveled for the past 25 years and will continue to do so as long as we can. In the last twenty years I have taught piano, English as a Second Language, watercolor and oil. I also went back to school and took pottery. My home now is full of paintings and pottery! I will never forget my instructors at TWU. Their inspiration lives on from one generation to the next. Oh, and I am also an Aggie Mom – my daughter and her husband are engineers and my two grandsons 16 and 18 are planning to study engineering also! Jo Ann (James) Cole, Class of 1958, Nursing, Gainesville, TX My memories of TSCW/TWU are just wonderful, I have always said, “my Nursing training at Parkland Hospital was the Best”, and I’m sure it still is. I have retired from Nursing and my husband Jim also retired after 55 years of practicing Medicine. 55 years is a long time and our patients were very sad to see us leave. Our son James Steven Cole MD is practicing in Ft. Worth, TX. Daughter Nancy G. Cole lives in Dallas. Son Michael Ray Cole owns Duxiana and works for a pharmaceutical company. Son David Alan Cole is an attorney in Dallas, TX. We have 11 grandchildren and 2 great grandsons. They live in Prague. We have been blessed despite me having lymphoma and treatment. In fact a former patient of ours passed in August 2013, a retired R.N. from South Carolina and our son (the attorney) is handling her will. TWU will be surprised. I would encourage any young lady that is interested in becoming a Nurse to attend TWU.

Judi (Frandsen) Nordlund, Class of 1957, Speech, York, NE After graduation I went on to summer and winter stock (theatre), then United Airlines stewardess and stayed in Denver working for an advertising and public relations firm. I have been married for over 40 years to Harold Nordlund, retired family physician, both home town natives of York, NE. Since marriage I have enjoyed being part of our community theatre, served on the City Council and then spent (and still spend) a great deal of time with my sister Gail establishing an animal rescue. Started with the city pound and now, through the help of a USDA loan, have a beautiful new building that houses cats and dogs (occasionally snakes, birds & even a monkey). Though my husband and I did a lot of traveling (USA & abroad) one of my most memorable trips was in October 2010 when our son Alan was married at Half Moon Bay south of San Francisco. While there I was able to get together with my TSCW roommate Grace (Smith) Smith (San Francisco resident). We had not seen each other since graduation. Sadly, she passed away in 2011 from recurring cancer (I am a cancer survivor). She was a notable artist and I hang proudly three of her miniature paintings in our family room. I treasure my years at TSCW remembering all the good times, Dr. Black my drama teacher and all of my special friends. Lucile (Rayzor) Hutchinson, Class of 1942, Business Administration, North Haven, CT Lucky me! As I read from another classmate’s story I realized how fortunate our era was to have recruitment on campus – Humble Oil Company for me – and to have a job before graduation! I went to Houston for two years, met my “Yankee husband” there during WWII, married and remained married for 62 years. “Hutch” died in 2006. I’ve remarried in our CT home because I’ve lived here so many years now. And, my three children are in the area. But, one of my grandsons never liked the cold so he went to Rice University in Houston, married a Dallas woman and is raising his two daughters there. A return to my roots is always a welcome trip. Especially in 2013 when I returned in April to participate in the dedication of my grandfather Rayzor’s home on Oak Street into the Texas Historical Society. Such an honor! I certainly visited the TWU campus at that time. I am proud to be a graduate and would hold the school up against many Eastern colleges. (P.S. And I do live in a Yale stronghold!) “Hello” to Mary E. Huey who was a classmate of mine, even in elementary school. Mary June (Bennett) Buckalew, Class of 1958, English, Forestburg, TX During my undergraduate and graduate years at TSCW/TWU I lived in Smith-Carroll, in Stoddard, and off-campus. My best friends were Griselda Gonzales and Yvonne (Ronnie) Head. Ronnie and I used to pride ourselves on dressing to the nines and wearing high heels whenever we walked – yes walked! – to town. One of my most vivid memories of us Smith-Carroll girls winning first in Stunts with Josue bringing down the walls – hundreds of shoe boxes! – of Jericho. During my senior year I married Bill Buckalew. Happily married for fifty-six years, Bill and I have two sons and a daughter, eight grandchildren, and two greatgrandchildren: All of us are Roman Catholics faithful to the traditional Latin Mass of the Roman Rite. At TSCW/TWU I earned a BA and MA in English. When in 1961 an opening in the English department at NTSC (UNT) came to my attention and I applied, Dr. Autrey Nell Wiley, then chair of the English department and dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, convinced the chair of the English department at NTSC to hire me; three years later, I took a leave of absence and earned a PhD at TCU. I retired from the English department in 1999. Bill and I live on our oldest son’s farm in Montague County; with two of his children, I help sell his organically grown produce at a farmers’ market while he sells at a second. We are, thanks be to God, healthy and happy. Margaret (Whorton) Gressett, Class of 1952, Home Economics, Bryan, TX We have just moved into a retirement establishment and waiting to get unpacked in order to plan another trip. Had a lovely transatlantic cruise last year and I am ready for another. I never did report that I took my great-granddaughter to our last reunion and was really tickled a few days ago to hear her telling her cousins what fun she had watching Granny and her friends acting like silly young girls. I guess it is true that “what goes around comes around”. I hope I will be able to attend our 65 th, will need a driver, maybe Amanda will volunteer. Marilyn (Burton) Hutchinson, Class of 1955, Sociology, Lincoln, NE I graduated from TSCW in 1955 with a BA in Sociology. In 1970 I earned my Juris Doctor at University of Nebraska College of Law. I had 33 years of law practice - 3 in a private law firm, 1 as a law clerk for Nebraska State Court Justice and 29 as Assistant Attorney General, State of Nebraska. My husband is Duane D. Hutchinson, children, Stephen K. and James W. Hutchinson, grandchildren, Katherine, Claire, William, Wesley and great-grandchild, Clara. I retired in 2003 after 33 years of practicing law. In 2005 I attended the 50th anniversary celebration of my class at TWU. In 2010 I attended the 40 th anniversary celebration of my law school class. I have traveled all 50 states, Canada, Mexico and 10 countries in Europe.

Mary Lee (Black) Strode, Class of 1950, Memphis, TN At TSCW I remember going to a church party without realizing we should have had parent’s permission for “cross-country trips with boys”. Creating posters saying, “Even the redbuds have come out to vote for Jennie Sue Mayes”, (she won); marching at the head of the Aggie band next to Archie Byall in College Station. Attending a ball at A&M with Markley McMann (my roommate Patricia McMann’s, brother); visiting Abilene with the McMann’s. Brownsville and Port Isabel with Shirley Champion and Sallie Burnell. Dating “Stormy” later killed in a plane crash at his naval base. Diving from a cliff with Bobby at a gravel pit – he, a flip; me, a jack knife. I also was in the Delian and Aquatics Clubs. I was to return (to TSCW) to stay in a four bedroom in Brackinridge, but stayed in Memphis, engaged to Gilbert Pinkerton Strode, Jr.! After TSCW: I married Gilbert and had daughters Carol and Mary, followed by Gilbert III at 41! I continued writing, traveling and teaching, winning 2nd place in a Writers’ Digest contest and publishing articles in English, education, business and oral communication professional journals. Served as a Delta Zeta Sorority province Director and traveled to Hawaii, Central and South America, Europe and Africa. I received a BBA from Ole Miss, a Masters in English from Memphis State University and 63 hours toward a Ph.D. from Ole Miss and Oxford University in England. At Hutchinson School and at State Technical Institute I was English Department Chair, retiring at 70, Professor Emeritus, and then teaching English at the University of Memphis and English as a second language at Ridgeway Baptist Church. Life begins again with Gilbert (age 4 when his daddy died) and his wife, Kristi, giving me a grandson, now 10, Gilbert IV, called Ivy. Patricia (O’Neil) Arvanitidis, Class of 1962, Home Economics, Mercer Island, WA I have fond memories of Texas Woman's University. I am always proud to say I have my masters from TWU. Shirley Elliott was such a wonderful roommate. We lived in a duplex near campus. I’m sorry I have lost touch with her. Dr. Pauline Berry Mack was a wonderful Major Professor. I’ve always been indebted to her. I loved going to her home while writing my thesis. And, she would take us our for fruit salad – Texas style. Dr. Mack said we had to work – I’m 75 and still teaching. We had wonderful professors: Miss Mary White, Dr. Roy Beauchene and Dr. Brandeau. George Vase helped me a lot with my thesis. Paula (Pauline Houser) Weingard, Class of 1951, Psychology, Tionesta, PA Greetings from Tionesta, Pennsylvania, located on the Allegheny River half was between Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Buffalo, New York. I grew up in Wellington, Kansas, and a visit with a friend at TSCW convinced me the small, beautiful campus was my college destination. I graduated with a BA in psychology and nursery education. Years later I earned an MS in counseling and human services at Bridgeport University at Bridgeport, Connecticut. My work experiences were all overseas as I accompanied my husband with his IBM assignments - in Hague, Holland, Jakarta, Indonesia, Bangkok, Thailand, Hong Kong and Singapore. I worked at various capacities in counseling parents and children in international schools, to city social services and embassies. At one time I was assistant to a psychiatrist in her overseas region covering Indonesia, Thailand and the Philippines. Upon retirement to Tionesta, we settled in a Weingard Century Farm established in 1875. Our three children, their five children, now including three husbands, come visiting from Honolulu, California, New York City and Annapolis, Maryland. Roberta Jean (Jester) Doucet, Class of 1952, Elementary Education, Jennings, LA (I) graduated from Hathaway High School in 1948. Attended Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas and received a B.S. in Education in 1952. In 1972 I attained a Masters of Education in Elementary Education with a minor in Reading. (I) continued to complete course work the past summer on my Doctorate in Education, majoring in Reading with a Minor in Supervision and Administration. I have served as Supervisor of Student Teachers for McNeese State University, Lake Charles, Louisiana. For the past five summers I was a Graduate Teaching Assistant, teaching graduate and under graduate courses in reading at TWU. I have served as Technical Assistant in Right to Read at Hathaway whereas the school was designated as a model school. My teaching profession has extended for thirty-eight (38) plus years. I taught in the parish schools for thirty-three (33) years. One year stands out so much in my mind where as I had the opportunity to enter into the dependent school system under the U.S. Air Force, and was assigned to Greenham Common Air Force Base, England. I taught first grade and we were located in an old castle with it being located at the end of the runway. It was a wonderful experience, traveled throughout England, Scotland, Ireland, and many visits to Europe, France, Italy, Denmark and Holland. After my teaching tour returned home one week before our wedding on June 29, 1958. I had my wedding dress made in England by a seamstress to the Queen. (I) married Elmer L. Doucet from Hathaway who is a Program Review Assistant with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Farmers Home Administration. We have one (1) daughter, Roberta Louise Stephens who lives in Jacksonville, Florida where she is a personal chef for two (2) doctors. She has

three (3) children, oldest daughter, Megan and her husband Adam live in Nashville, Tenn. She works in the Medical Division at Vanderbilt University, Adam is with the Nissan Assembly Plant. They are planning on presenting us with our first great grandchild in June, which will be a girl. Cade Thomas Stephens, the only boy plans on marrying in November, and he is a Computer Specialist with Disney in Orlando. Callie Anna Stephens resides in Jacksonville, and recently graduated from the Aveeda School. I was appointed as the Parish Reading Resource Teacher in 1978. Both Elmer and I retired in 1991. We made another trip to Europe, I was anxious to show Elmer where I taught in England. From London we took first class rail to Dover, Boarded the jet foil to cross the English Channed. Again boarded first class rail from Astend to Brussels and on the Frankfurt where met by Elmer’s brother Daniel, who was stationed in the Embassy in Prague, Czech Republic. Spent one week with he and his wife. We Traveled around the country. What a fantastic experience. Flew back to the states and home. Had the experience of visiting schools in Australia and New Zealand with Dr. Spicola and Dr. Griffen of the TWU Education Department. This was a great experience and a great learning tool. The group spent a month down under! This all took place in June, 1982. We also had a stop in Hawaii on our way home. Ruth (Bowling) Nichols, Class of 1936, Art, Jacksonville, TX (Submitted by S. G. Gonzalez) As of October 8th, 2014, Ruth (Bowling) Nichols will be officially 100 years! Born in Bonham, TX in the year of 1914. A proud graduate of Texas Woman’s University in 1936 with a Bachelor of Science in Fashion Design and Art. After graduation she was a teacher at Center, Texas for one year between 1936 and 1937.
